For the third year, Cirque du Soleil is honored and thrilled to present a brand new creation for locals and tourists alike. “It is a great privilege for us to imagine a story and create a show that will appeal to a wide audience, wherever they come from and whatever their background. AMORA it’s about the power of love. Packed with colorful characters and high caliber acrobats, the show is a love letter to the beauty of Malta and a celebration of the circus arts. We have carefully curated the 12 acrobatic acts that make up the show, all of which have never been seen before in Malta.” explains show director Alexia Bürger.
After a creative and acrobatic workshop at the Cirque du Soleil International Headquarters which will take place at the end of October, the cast and crew together with the creative and production teams will soon be traveling to Malta to give final touches to AMORA.
AMORA by Cirque du Soleil is a celebration of the magnetic force of love, it speaks to the central love story between Bruno and Loulou. At the same time, it is a love letter to the beauty and richness of Malta, and to the circus arts.
The story centers around a clumsy but lovable character, Bruno. Looking at the skies of La Valette, he sets his sights on a mysterious woman, Loulou. Beloved, he tries to climb up to her balcony to reach her, but she flies away and disappears out of sight.
Bruno’s obsession with finding Loulou grows as the story unfolds. He embarks on a quest to find her, meeting colorful new friends with extraordinary powers along the way. These characters will teach Bruno how to defy gravity and reach the sky to join the woman he loves.
Despite Bruno’s clumsiness and the many challenges along the way, love ultimately conquers all, and the whole town joins together in celebration as he finds his way to Loulou’s heart.
